Docker image useful for building Debian packages for Postgres extensions.
docker pull dpirotte/postgres-dev:stretch
This image includes the Postgres database server with development headers for all versions of Postgres in PGDG. It also includes fpm and fpm-cookery to easily create packages.
Tags correspond to the OS version.
| Distro | Version | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| Debian | Jessie (8.x) | jessie |
| Debian | Stretch (9.x) | stretch, latest |
| Ubuntu | Trusty Tahr (14.04) | trusty |
| Ubuntu | Xenial Xerus (16.04) | xenial |
| Ubuntu | Bionic Beaver (18.04) | bionic |
Servers and development headers for Postgres 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 10, and 11 are included.
This image was designed to make it easier to build and test Postgres extensions against multiple versions of Postgres.
For example, in your Makefile, you can use an environment variable (e.g. PG_VERSION) to find the right version of pg_config. Then, you can run something like the following to test your extension:
docker run \
--rm -it \
-e PG_VERSION=11 \
-v ${PWD}:/build \
-w /build \
dpirotte/postgres-dev:stretch \
bash -c "pg_ctlcluster 11 main start ; make clean install installcheck"
